How Is This Su Yuan So Bad!

"Red envelopes? Why would we be grabbing red envelopes during a Martial Arts Competition?"

Principal Zhang Youde found it difficult to keep up with Taihua Tianji's line of thought.

This True Man Tai Bai seemed even less reliable than his own daughter!

Taihua Tianji explained, "Principal Zhang, you know me. I can tell the level of juniors in the Qi Cultivation stage just by glancing at them. Whether they make a move or not makes no difference to me."

"I'm having them grab red envelopes for two reasons."

"Firstly, it's to test the students' reaction speed. To achieve anything in martial arts, one must be exceptionally agile and always one step ahead of others."

"Secondly, it's to see their individual luck. Even the best phone will experience fluctuations in network speed, causing the red envelopes to appear at inconsistent times."

"Whoever's phone refreshes to show a red envelope first indicates they have good luck."

Zhang Youde: "..."

Damn it, there was actually some logic to that.

As for why the other party was so fixated on the students' luck?

If it were anyone else, Zhang Youde would have asked more questions, but it was perfectly normal for Taihua Tianji, the industry's "underworld guiding light," to believe in such things.

In the end, Zhang Youde had no choice but to agree to this red envelope grabbing contest.

He had the eight participating students add his contact information, then pulled them and Taihua Tianji into a group chat.

Su Yuan held his phone, looking at the newly joined group chat with a complex mix of emotions.

This True Man Tai Bai organizing a red envelope grabbing competition probably had more than just the two reasons he stated.

It definitely had an element of revenge against him! Absolutely!

The thought that his originally guaranteed victory rate had suddenly dropped to one in eight made Su Yuan's head ache.

He looked at his phone, an old model from three years ago, its casing engraved with the bumps and scrapes of those three years.

Then he looked at everyone else's phones; they were all brand new models from this year.

While the Spiritual Power network would have fluctuations, newer phones clearly had faster internet speeds!

His actual chance of winning was probably less than one in eighty.

"How am I supposed to win this?"

Su Yuan felt like his world had gone dark.

But just as the red envelope grabbing contest was about to begin, a flash of inspiration struck his mind.

Did his phone count as a magic item according to the System's judgment?

Could the Devilish Art · Finger Tool be used on a phone?

A phone was a product of modern cultivation technology, so why wouldn't it be considered a magic item?

With that thought, Su Yuan didn't dare to hesitate. He immediately activated the Devilish Art · Finger Tool!

The next second, as Spiritual Power was consumed, Su Yuan and his phone somehow established a mysterious connection.

The Devilish Art · Finger Tool activation was successful!

A virtual favorability data point hovered above the phone.

[Favorability: 220]!

Seeing this astonishing favorability, and feeling the faint sense of attachment emanating from the phone's weak emotions, Su Yuan was moved!

Even without the 100 favorability automatically added by the Devilish Art, his phone already had 120 favorability towards him, more than enough to meet the condition for Spirit Joy.

Su Yuan couldn't help but recall a saying.

"A phone's lifespan is 3 to 5 years, while a cultivator's lifespan is over 100 years. A phone is merely a passerby in a cultivator's eyes, but to the phone, you are its entire life."

"So, put aside your trivial matters and spend more time with your phone!"

Had Su Yuan done that?

He had!

As a penniless pauper, he didn't dare to travel or spend money on entertainment. The only thing he could do to relax was spend time with his phone.

Still calling it a phone?

Smart people were already calling them "wives"!

"Please help me one more time."

Su Yuan gazed tenderly at the treasure that had accompanied him the longest, murmuring softly.

The phone's faint will began to respond to Su Yuan's expectations with all its might!

At this moment, their consciousnesses merged, human and machine becoming one!

Spirit Joy!

Go all out! My love!

The next moment, Taihua Tianji lowered his finger from the phone, and the red envelope was successfully sent.

Almost at the same time, red envelope notifications appeared on the phones of the eight participating contestants!

A single tap!

After less than a tenth of a second of loading, the contestants opened the red envelope and saw seven large characters clearly displayed on it!

[Too slow, red envelope is gone]

"Holy crap!"

Someone exclaimed and quickly looked at the account that had received the red envelope.

AAA Su Yuan (Part-time Job @ Taihua High School)

The person's avatar was a piece of paper filled with densely packed writing.

Homework writing, serving dishes, carrying goods, package sorting, waiter, barbecue chef, milk tea shop employee, deliveryman, security guard, flyer distribution...

What the heck was all this!

After a long while, they finally managed to pick out Su Yuan's name from the densely packed advertisements on this account.

They all turned to look at Su Yuan, seeing him standing with his hands behind his back, exuding an air of looking down on the world.

The hem of his clothes was slightly dirty.

"Holy crap, how can this Su Yuan be so devious!"

One contestant said speechlessly.

There shouldn't be any way to cheat in a red envelope grab, right? Did he win through skill or luck?

Taihua Tianji carefully examined the person who received the red envelope, then looked at his daughter, who had appeared beside him at some unknown time.

He saw the white-haired loli staring excitedly at Su Yuan, as if he were a mountain of gold, making her old father feel quite jealous.

"Evil, so evil! Big brother can even CPU magical treasures! How many more surprises does he have that I don't know about?"

The white-haired loli gazed at the phone in Su Yuan's hand, which was emitting black smoke, her golden eyes sparkling.

The little loli put one hand on her hip and used the other to point at the seven failed contestants, saying dismissively:

"I already told you before, you're all trash in front of Brother Su Yuan. Now look, you've brought shame upon yourselves."

Su Yuan: "..."

Still praising me to death! Still praising me to death!

Someone please do something about this little demoness!

Faced with the white-haired loli's repeated taunts, Huang Sheng, who already had a fiery temper, finally couldn't stand it anymore!

However, in front of Taihua Tianji, a Golden Core True Person, he didn't dare to directly attack the white-haired loli.

"Su Yuan, you're the number one in the Martial Arts Competition, right? If you've got guts, spar with me!"

Huang Sheng roared and threw a punch at Su Yuan.

It was clear that with the Martial Arts Competition nearing its end, he wanted to take a risk and show off.

It had to be said that Huang Sheng's sudden burst of a punch was skillful, not only powerful but also reaching the Great Accomplishment level in his fist techniques.

Facing the imposing, tall figure charging at him, Su Yuan took a deep breath. The negative emotions absorbed by his Fury Heart Attack were instantly converted into amplification power.

The amplification, which could reach sixty percent of the cultivator's own strength, was maxed out at this moment!

The next instant, Su Yuan condensed the explosive power within his body into a single force. Without dodging, he met Huang Sheng's incoming fist with a punch of his own!

Boom--

Accompanied by a piercing shriek that tore through the air and the crisp crack of breaking bones, Huang Sheng, a robust sports student weighing over two hundred pounds, was sent flying backward like a cannonball, crashing heavily onto the sports field.

He rolled more than a dozen times on the ground as if boneless, finally collapsing motionlessly.

"Hoo, that feels good."

Su Yuan slowly retracted his smoking fist, a look of satisfaction on his face.
